Schilling lashes out over comparisons to bleeding Bauer

Curt Schilling doesn't want to be compared to Trevor Bauer.

Long before Schilling lost his job at ESPN for repeatedly sharing anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT memes on Facebook, he was a pretty good pitcher for the Boston Red Sox.

His Game 6 performance during the 2004 ALCS will forever be remembered as the "Bloody Sock Game." Schilling pitched seven strong innings despite blood soaking through his sock, which helped lead the Red Sox to 3-0 series comeback. Boston went on to win the World Series - its first since 1918.

Monday brought another bloody ALCS moment as Bauer had to leave the game in the first inning after his stitches split open, gushing blood all over the place. Bauer had cut his finger while repairing a drone earlier in the week.

Schilling was not happy about seeing arguably the best moment of his professional life being compared to Bauer's short outing on Monday. He took to Twitter with some harsh words for Bauer (NSFW language).

Obviously, nobody was comparing the performance. They both were bleeding during the ALCS - the comparisons stopped there. Schilling still spoke out though.

Bauer recorded two outs before being replaced by Dan Otero.
